This mode is played exactly like the original board game. Players take turns moving their pieces around the Trivial Pursuit board answering questions in six different categories to win one differently colored "pie piece" in each category. The first player to collect all six "pie pieces" and answer a randomly selected question in the game board's hub is the winner.
The titular Unhinged mode is a variation of Classic mode where players can bet on their opponents' game performance and certain spaces on the game board are given different properties including:
Teleport - allows a player to move their playing piece anywhere on the board
50/50 - removes two incorrect answers from your four multiple choice answers
Rotate - spins the board and moves all players to new positions
Recycle - allows the player to swap their initial trivia question
This is a quick two-player mode in which each player starts at the bottom of a tower and chooses a question in one of two random categories, each correct answer brings the player up a tier on the tower. The first player to the top is declared the winner.
Atari announced the game on August 15, 2003 for a release during the Christmas season.[3] However, the game would miss this release window, and was instead released in March 2004.[4] A European release was announced for a March 2004 release in November 2003,[5]
but this was delayed until October, with the Xbox version eventually being canceled in Europe.
